Note 1:
Each year, I give a detailed plan of our schedule and our chosen resources.
Our 2020 schedule and resources can be found here, and our schedule and resources from this year can be found here (although if you compare that list to the following one, you will see that I made changes as a homeschool mom is apt to do) ;).
We begin each school year in January, but I choose resources and plan for the following year 6 months in advance. So, I have made our choices for 2022 and will share them below.
Note 2:
I hold to Charlotte Mason's principles, but I apply her practices with my own wisdom and discernment. I love her, but I don't idolize her, and I believe her principles and practices provide us with both a foundation for education based upon personhood and also with great freedom.
I use a variety of resources, and I both choose and avoid resources based upon their quality, merit, approach to education and personhood, and my needs....not upon how high they would rank with the "Charlotte Mason Police". ;) So, if you see a resource that surprises you, assume that I am using it according to Mason's principles, and feel free to ask any questions whatsoever!
